Last Saturday, after 29 days, finally my 10th ornament of Little House Needleworks came. This one has made a trip around the world. I started immediately and yesterday I had finished it. If you look close at the pattern you will see that I changed one thing.

On Wednesday evening I got a message from Simone from Atelier Soed Idee if I could stitch another piece for her and if it could be ready fast because she wanted it to take with her on sunday when she was at a Christmas day. When people she the design stitched they buy more often the pattern. So I took my super fast needles and began to stitch, the smoke came off those needles. On Thursday afternoon I could post the piece to her because it was ready.

For the Dutch charity group Rainbowpillows I volunteered to stitch a piece with a penguin on it, but when Michiel saw it, he ask if he could stitch it because penguins are one of his favorite animals. So this penguin is stitched by Michiel.

As promised some wedding photo's of my son Niels and Mayke. On the weddingday there where two professionel photographers and from one of them I have 4 pictures, the rest is still to come. These pictures are made by Cindy Frey from Belgium and they look if there where taking in the fifties, that was their wedding theme. I realy like them !

Two weeks ago Bookdepository had 24 hours offers. Every hour there was a book with a great discount. When I saw this book for only $7 I order it immediately. Its the book Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery.

Just one more ornament to show to you. I stitched this one today and again a pattern from Little House Needlework. Its printed in the Just Cross Stitch Chrismas Ornaments issue 2011 where many more ornaments patterns are to see.

When I'm stitching the pattern most of the time I'm already been thinking of how I'm going to finish it into an ornament. This time I looked into my box where al kind of different yarn is lying and I found this pretty green one. I used it to dew around the ornament and I think its very nice.

And then there is ornament number 9 and its called Joy and Peace. By this pattern you could choose if you wanted to stitch a red cardinal or a sheep under the tree. On the pattern itself you see the red cardinal.

I did finished it last night but because of the light I couldn''t get a good picture, so I made that just now. The 8th ornament of Little House Needlework is called Hallelujah. I had some white fuzzy yarn that I thought would be nice to attach around.

Ornament number 8 is a bit of more work with the stitching so I don't now if I can finish this one tomorrow. If not, then I have finished it on friday :-)Someone ask me where I buy these patterns, this is with Amy from Downsunshine Lane. I get them send on autoshipment every month.

Sunday evening my brother in law called me to say that the doctor had been there for my sister. it turns out she has a kidney stone and now she must wait till it comes out. Because my brother in law can't cook she ask me if i could fix some dinner for them, so today I cooled twice. I made for them a large pan of macaroni for two days and brought it to them. After that I could start cooking again for us.

The only thing I did different is that I hang a key on top of the ornament because I'm afraid that when the people that life in that house forget the key, they can't go in and with all that snow outside, that is much to cold for them.

A fairy ...
